Latest website: Renly Hall and Catherine Kennedy, both are the top figures in the Hollywood pyramid. In terms of connections, power, prestige, and status, both sides have far-reaching influence. If you really go head-to-head, Then it is Mars hitting the earth, and perhaps no one side will win in the end, and the loss of both sides is the greatest possibility. This may develop into a devastating disaster for the "Rogue One" crew.

Checks and balances, this is the point.

While the "Rogue One" crew was still working in the Maldives, Renly and Catherine wrestled in London. The two sides had contacts, and neither of them started easily. They talked three times before and after, and there were two conference calls. The atmosphere The tense, sparkling confrontation brought the two sides into a stalemate.

No one knows the specific content of the conversation, but judging from the results, the two sides gave in and reached consensus.

The script really needs to be revised. Some scenes and dialogues are deleted, and some character scenes are deleted, especially the battle scenes. The rhythm is increased as much as possible to ensure that the narrative rhythm of the film can be lighter and sharper without affecting the main line. , To reduce the burden of the movie.

The director cannot be changed. This is also the core of the dispute between Renly and Catherine.

Lanly officially rejected Tony Gilroy's "help" with a serious attitude and temporarily joined the second director. This may be a devastating blow to the crew, and Garys's personal style and creative ideas may also be destroyed; but Catherine Her attitude is also very firm. She believes that Garys absolutely needs help. Rhythm control and fighting scenes are the key to commercial films. The crew needs to improve the rhythm of the film.

The final conclusion is that Tony Gilroy is still away from the crew for the time being, but Tony can meet with Garris as a consultant to discuss and give some opinions; and Lanly will also have a meeting with Garris to ensure that Garris can be in the fight scene. Accept more possibilities in scheduling.

As for rhythm control, that's a matter of post-editing.

The ending, keep it as it is. This is Renly's bottom line and Garris's bottom line. He refuses to leave any tail for the potential of the sequel. The issue of the sequel is only one aspect, the real reason is the meaning of the ending to the resistance, which is an indispensable and important part.

Back and forth, the two sides finally reached a consensus.

Soon after, Christopher-McQuarrie (Christopher-McQuarrie) appeared in London.

Why Christopher McCauley?

As a director, Christopher directed the fifth and sixth parts of "Detective Jack" and "Mission Impossible". His directorial ability has not been widely recognized for the time being, and he is more hailed as Tom Cruise's fixation. Partner; But as a screenwriter, Christopher is a famous "tinker" in Hollywood.

"Very Suspect" is his famous work. Although a series of commercial films after that have been mediocre, "The Hero Detective Jack", "Deadly Companion" and "The Giant Catcher Jack" have all suffered disastrous defeats, but Christopher The refinement and control of lines are well-known in Hollywood.

Hollywood script creation is a very interesting thing. Only when the content of creation exceeds 30%, can they have the final attribution rights; but in fact, screenwriters who are not on the list of screenwriters but participated in script creation may be a long time. With a long list, one script has been passed through multiple screenwriters, it is really normal.

It should also be noted here that there may be a situation before and after the start of the crew:

The producer is not satisfied with the details of the script. It may be to modify the dialogue, or to modify a few scenes. On the premise that there is no harm to the bones, he hopes to partially modify the content of the script. Then, at this time, "tinker" It will be on the stage, which is considered to be a small-scale technical activity——

It does not require a lot of tedious work, but it requires patience and careful adjustment. Some screenwriters may lack talent, and lack a little delicate touch and inspiration for the story frame and mainline setting. If you create a complete script, it may be a disaster; but the detail control has its own unique skills, which may be the foundation of the lines or the scene. The setting may be the character of the character, and so on.

For example, Christopher McCauley.

The work of "partially modifying the script" is actually not glorious, because screenwriters with real talent and ability disdain to do such "non-creative manual work"; but this "manual work" has an irreplaceable advantage: simplicity , Convenient and high yield.

It may take three months to half a year to create a script framework, and the salary is about one million dollars on average; while creating a complete script, the cycle is relatively long, as short as three months and as long as several years, but there is no salary. Limited, three million dollars or even higher.

But for "tinkers", as short as one week and as long as one month, they can receive a remuneration of 300,000 to 500,000 U.S. dollars. If you modify a sentence and modify 29% of the content, the remuneration is relatively fixed. Yes, you can get rich returns in a short time, and this is also considered the most profitable job in Hollywood.

Just like a "body worker" standing on the street, making quick money.

Having said that, there are not many screenwriters in Hollywood who are truly qualified for this job.

Back to Christopher Macaulay.

After Renly and Catherine reached a consensus, Christopher appeared in London "immediately", as if he had been prepared for a long time, and was on standby at any time.

This also means that, in fact, Catherine was already prepared. Those bargaining were just paralyzing Lanli. In the end, she successfully completed her set goal: revising the script. Although the contract stipulates that Lan Li has the right to make decisions on the script, Catherine always has a way to make Lan Li nod.

At the producer level, Catherine is the more experienced party. As for Lan Li, he relies more on his own mentality to form a confrontation with his aura-now looking back at the original "Love Crazy" contest with Harvey Weinstein in Park City, in the final analysis, the ignorant is fearless.

Lan Li even secretly guessed that Christopher had already started to revise the script in London, because Catherine was sure to let Lan Li agree; then, revising the ending and adding a second director, these things may be just smoke bombs and become Catherine’s. Bargaining chips.

The power contest at the top of the Hollywood pyramid is definitely not that simple. In comparison, Thomas Tour's small methods in the "Interstellar" crew appear to be much simpler, mainly because he did not consider the overall situation from a higher level, and the rhythm was still taken by Lan Li.

In any case, the filming of "Rogue One" is in full swing, but the crew has changed, which in turn led to twists and turns in subsequent filming.

It only took Christopher two weeks to complete the script modification work. After Catherine and Renly went through each other, they officially passed——

The story has indeed been streamlined a lot, and all the characters have become relatively simplistic. Even the roles of Lan Li and Felicity have been partially affected.

In the crew, Garis had meetings and discussions with Tony and Christopher, and then with Lan Li and other editors many times.

Although Garis is very dissatisfied with the monolines of the characters, which undermines the fullness of the story, it is unrealistic for commercial films to spend a lot of pen and ink to shape the characters. More often, even if a lot of pen and ink is spent, it is still not as good Favor, on the contrary, has become a burden to the narrative rhythm of the film; in the end, Garys also chose to compromise.

More precisely, even if Garris did not compromise, he could not change the decision made by Catherine and Renly.

However, all this did not affect the filming work of "Rogue One". The crew can faintly feel the surging of the dark tide, but they can do nothing about the framework-level resolutions. They can only wait and watch the changes and continue to stick to their own. Posts, occasionally exchange a look during a break, and talk in a whisper for a while, that's all.

After all the discussions and changes are over, the staff are watching each other, not sure how things will develop. Who knows what will happen to the fights of the gods?

However, Lan Li seemed as if nothing had happened, and devoted himself to daily work calmly, which made the staff a little settled; and when Garris returned to the crew, he did not show too much strange emotions. It seems that all thoughts are suffocated in my heart, the filming work is still going on in an orderly manner, and the turmoil and chaos of the crew gradually settled down.

With the gradual advancement of time, "Rogue One" returned to its normal track. The brief chaos did not seem to be able to create more waves, but for the crew, this was a good thing.

Nevertheless, the changes in the script brought about a chain reaction, and the subsequent shooting work increased a lot~www.novelhall.com~ The shooting progress was slightly pushed back.

The crew has been busy until mid-May, when "Rogue One" officially announced its finalization. It worked for four and a half months, and it was completed after nearly three weeks later than expected, disrupting many plans; but Lan Li did. I know, the matter is still not over here.

Judging from Catherine’s previous attitudes and opinions, there may be twists and turns in the post-editing process. If the first cut version is not satisfactory, then subsequent reshoots and reshoots are also possible——

Remakes and remakes of top-notch commercial films are very common, and the specific conditions are very complicated. There are positive and negative, which cannot be generalized, but in the final analysis, the opinions of the producer and the director are conflicting. The balance between business and art is definitely not that simple.

But for now, the crew has finished, and the actors' work has temporarily reached a stage.

Since 2015, Lan Li has been working hard since 2015. His figure has appeared all over the world, constantly going in and out on various occasions, and now he can finally breathe a little—the work is still not over, because the Cannes Film Festival is coming, just for Lan For Li, going to the Cote d’Azur is equivalent to a holiday.
